Musk and Ramaswamy Lead New Government Efficiency Department

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have been appointed to lead the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Donald Trump's administration, with a focus on reducing government waste and bureaucracy. Musk has promised that DOGE will achieve significant reforms by July 4, 2026, dismissing criticisms of inefficiency, particularly from Senator Elizabeth Warren, by highlighting that neither he nor Ramaswamy will be receiving salaries. Memes mocking Musk as 'Trump's First Lady' have gained traction on social media, stemming from his controversial appointment and a Trump family photo. Warren's sarcastic comments about the leadership structure of DOGE have drawn backlash from Musk and Ramaswamy, who suggest that her critiques reflect a misunderstanding of their efficiency goals. The initiative aims to streamline federal operations and eliminate unnecessary regulations. Critics and supporters alike are closely watching how this unconventional leadership will unfold.
